Chemistry can be an intimidating subject. Students may be reminded of long nights spent trying to understand the un-understandable, or the tests that seem to be unfinishable. However, even the most daunting of subjects can be made fun.
Through Chem Club, we want to change that perspective by creating a fun and supportive space that encourages members to explore chemistry beyond the classroom. Weekly meetings will feature guest speakers, experiments, and more! This club’s purpose is to spark curiosity, build confidence, and show that chemistry is not only understandable, but can also be enjoyable!
